What they did was just rent a Mr. Softee truck and covered up Mr. Softee with their sign, as you can see here: <br> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1wWTObAexYs/TA99tWEhnQI/AAAAAAAAFs8/Dhfj1TmHrdY/s400/big+gay+ice+cream+truck.jpg" /> <br> So, the actual ice cream was just the standard Mr. Softee soft serve, just with custom toppings. I'm trying something somewhat similar with my truck, but adding specialty soft-serve. I found that a second soft-serve machine ups the power needed to the point that a more powerful generator is needed. I see from their Facebook updates that they now have specialty soft-serve now in their brick and mortar stores. <br> &nbsp; <br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m763470.ashxFindPost/763519Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:00:20 GMTRe:Big Gay Ice Cream (hatteras04) My wife and I went to the shop about two years ago.&nbsp; I think I had the salty pimp but I don't remember what my wife had.&nbsp; My take on it was that the toppings were good but that the ice cream itself was nothing special.&nbsp; There was nothing wrong with it, it was just ordinary soft serve.&nbsp; Of course this is coming from someone who lives about 2 miles from a Jeni's Ice Cream scoop shop so I can be a little snobbish about ice cream <img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/001_smile.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/001_smile.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[:)]" />" /><br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m763470.ashxFindPost/763511Tue, 17 Dec 2013 11:22:07 GMTBig Gay Ice Cream (Midnights) Big Gay Ice Cream was on The Chew.<br><a href="http://www.thebraiser.com/gail-simmons-on-the-chew/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="http://www.thebraiser.com/gail-simmons-on-the-chew/">http://www.thebraiser.com/gail-simmons-on-the-chew/</a><br>It starts about halfway through the clip. <br>Note: If you have a comment about the owners of the company being gay, please keep it to yourself.
